Gibraltar Secondary School is a public school in the unincorporated community of Fish Creek, Town of Gibraltar, Door County, Wisconsin, United States. [1] [2] It serves grades 6-12 and is a part of the Gibraltar Area Schools.
It used to be known as Gibraltar High School and served grades 9 through 12. [2]
The school was founded in 1917, when the townspeople decided to establish the first high school in the county outside Sturgeon Bay. [3]
Gibraltar Secondary School is part of the Gibraltar Area School District, [1] and draws students from Gills Rock, Ellison Bay, Sister Bay, Ephraim, Fish Creek, Egg Harbor, and Baileys Harbor. [2] The student-teacher ratio is 11:1. [1]
Of the 198 students in 2011, 52% were female, and 5% were minorities. [1]
From 2000 to 2019, high school enrollment (grades 9–12) declined 17.6%. Enrollment of students younger than high school declined 21.3%. [4] The drop in middle school enrollment between the school years starting in 2013 and 2014 reflects the enrollment for grade 6 being taken from the middle school and added to the elementary school starting in 2014. This also boosted the elementary school enrollment during the same period.
